The turbine can burn gas straight out of the well-head? No de-watering or cleaning?

From the article:

But if companies had used field gas

A great BIG IF, not a claim it could.

I don't think old turbine blades are going to last any length of time with water saturated gas, not to mention a some H2S and CO in the stream. No talk of the permitting required for the exhaust of a contaminated fuel source.

Really, really big if, in my opinion.

I remember the early turbine pump packages. You didn’t see them around very long.

Maybe something has changed sine then.
